The public grounds and buildings at Hurrisburg must be kept in order, but the Republican party, always on tin jump for the main chance, lias used thi department for the purpose of making a big raid on the public treasury. In 18b:; the management, improvement and re pairs to tin? public grounds and building cost only $32,342. In 1895 the expendi ture is put down at $77,019, or an in crease of $45,277. The present adminis tration was very lavish in providing for this department. The superintend ent must be a great favorite or an extra ordinarily valuable man, as his salary was increased from $2,800 to SO,OOO. Then ho was also supplied with a book keeper at $3,000, a mechanic at SI,BOO, a gardener at $2.000. an assistant gar dener at SI,BOO, a sergeant of police at $2,000, besides SI,BOO worth of extra elevator men. An increase of SIO,OOO was made to keep the grounds in repair: < a SO,OOO contingent fund was created. ; while salary increases and other impro- i vised charges run the appropriation up \ to nearly $50,000 excess over two years > ago. Voter, are you willing to submit lung er to the rule of a party that spends public money in this profligate manner? It can be stopped by voting the entire Democratic ticket this fall. Four years ago Mr. Stanton, the Democratic candidate fur sheriff, was nominated and elected clerk of the court by one of the largest majorities over given a candidate of Ids party, which was due entirely to his integrity and popularity among his neighbors and people who know him best. The affairs of the clerk's office were never conducted with as much tact and business ability as during his term, but he was un fortunate, as were many o.hers. owing to'the Rockafellow bank failure. The savings of his term, $5,800, wore lost beyond redemption, yet Luzerne county or the bondsmen of Mr. Stanton did nut lose one cent, as the record of the treasurer's office attest. Official or public integrity of such quality is rare, and so thought tho friends of Mr. Stan ton when they placed him on the ticket in order to give him an opportunity to regain what he lost in their service, and to give the citizens of this county another chance to vote for an honest man. — Wilkeabarre Telephone, Down in tho % lower end the name of James J. Maloy, the Democratic candi date for recorder, is a synonym for all that is popular, says the Wilkusbarre Leader. lie is universally known and liked. Possessed of a ripe, practical mind, he will bring to the office of recor der sound intelligence and a capacity to perform its duties well. He may be de pended on to transact all business faith fully and under bis adminstration then would be no lack of courtesies shown to all who had dealings with the recorder. It is pleasant to know that Mr. Maloy is a genera] favorite with all the Democrat - of his district, and many Republicans a> well, and that he has friends and work ers in all sections of Luzerne. A good Democrat—Mr. Maloy will no doubt win out with a handsome majority. In 1893 the adjutant general got a salary of $5,000, now ho gets SB,OOO. The repairs to the state arsenal cost $2,000 in 1893, in 1895 they cost $3,000. The adjutant general had a stenographer and typewriter at SI,OOO in 1893, in 1895 there is a provision of $2,000 for this j work. All of this makes an excess of sr>.ooo this year in this department over 1893. The Republican party cer tainly knows how to get rid of the people's money. Will the people put on the brakes now and stop the leaks by electing an able state treasurer? There fore, vote for Hon. Benjamin F. Meyers. What do you think of the conduct <f six men of high state rank who, in order to retain the office of superior court i judge, to which they were appointed by | Governor Hastings, went into a bitter partisan and factional campaign, such j as that which ended in the victory of j Boss Quay at the last Republican state j convention? Every inemberof the super ior court worked for Quay's downfall, and in a filthy and corrupt political mud puddle. Can you conscientiously cast your vote for such a ticket? No department in the state machinery is too small or insignificant to he over looked by the Republican state treasury banditti. Here's the state reporter's office for example: The expenses in 1893 were $12,000, now, under the Re publican rule, they reach SIO,OOO. an excess of $4. .00. The present adminis tration takes everything in sight and keeps a sharp look-out for something new. whereby a i honest dollar of this people can be ; itherod in for political use and pre : gj. THE PLATFORM The Following is the Platform Adopted by the Williainsport Convention. First. The Democratic party, In State Con- j flit! Hl assembled, lien by renews Its alie ■ in nee i • ami declares its faith in the prin iplcs of Democracy as formulated by Jeffer son ate! illustrated by Madison. Monroe, Jii' ksou and Cleveland. It congratulates the Vinerieen people upon the first fruits of the i>ennM-i administration, which inherited Tom its Republican predecessor a bankrupt , Treasury and unwise financial legislation, . inpaired public credit and widespread disns- ' r. .MI.I which, under the sagacious, con rag- 1 "lis ami patriotic leadership of its great President, Grover Cleveland, led the people | •lit of the slough of despondency to the high ground of substantial and increasing We challenge the fairness of our country- < iien and ask that the Democratic party now rocehe tin- benefit of that renewed pros- ] •crity whose welcome note is heard on every <lde. Second. The enactment of the Sherman llv T-p.nvhasliig act and the McKinicy , .•■.riff law found, as accurately predicted by Mr. ('l.".eland. their results in bankrupt -ailroads, closed factories, ruined farms, 1 ibamlonoil fields, impaired national credit 1 .ml general disaster. The repeal of such niquiious legislation and the substitution f more moderate tariff laws have found • ir immediate results in the resumption >f business and the restoration of the nu ioitai credit. > Third. As vindicating the principles of ■ ri i reform, i" which the Democracy Is un <i..bi\ pledged, we challenge especial nt eiition to the fact tluit such prosperity and \ lie ciiscquent material Increase of wages :.is been umst pronounced In the industries whose existence our opponents claimed were i pendent upon high tariff duties. The gloomy predict ion that the iron and steel In •lusiriesof Pennsylvania would be destroyed a reduced tariff lias been contradicted bj ilielr present unexampled prosperity. Fourth. We invite the attention of the wage earners to tin* fact that the present voluntary increase of wages of those em il uyed in tlm manufacturing industries, a mount itig to not less t Dan S2SiMMJO,UOU, was absolutely unknown under the McKinicy tariff a-i. To prevent the reactionary legis ,;ii-"ii threatened by the Republican party 1 .f Pennsylvania in their recent Stale Con vention. which would again depress busi ness by destroying faith in the stability of present conditions, we invite our fellow countrymen throughout the land, irrespec tive "i party, to -<■ act together as to in- * sure, by the election of a Democratic Presi dent in 1890, the muiutenuuee of the present prosperity. Fifth. We especially reaffirm so much of lite platform of the last Democratic National ! Convention as calls for the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country: but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, or be adjusted by Inter national agreement, or by such safeguards iff legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals ami lite equal power of every dollar at ail times in the payment of debts. We believe that stub parity could not be maintained by the free coinage of silver at the ratio of Pi to 1, and we are. therefore, opposed to any legis lation looking to that end. Sixth. We arraign and condemn the pres ent administration, both in the executive and legislative brunches of the government, for its refusal to reapportion the State, in accordance with the mandates of the Con stitution; for its profligate waste of public money: for its creation of private awards and useless public offices; for its degradation of the public service in factional contests; for its unnecessary increase of official sala ries to the detriment of many deserving charities of the State; for its legislation fa vorable io the interests of corporations and monopolies. Seventh. We challenge comparison be tween litis Suite administration, which lias been so faithless to its pledges, and the wise, economical and honest administration ; of Robert E. Pattison, which in the stainless j purity of its record silenced partisan malig nity ami justly merited ami received the almost universal approbation of the people of this t bunmonwenlt It. Eighth. We especially invite the sober consideration of the people of this Slate to the remarkable factional struggle in the Re publican party, a struggle which involved no principle or public policy, but simply the supremacy of contending factional leaders. The worst arraignment at our hands of Re publican misrule falls short of what repre sentative Republican newspapers and lead ers testified of each other. The admitted prostitution of the public service, the invo cation of corporate influences. the misuse of Judicial appoint incuts and consequent prostitution of the Judiciary, the corrupt use of money in the purchase of delegates, the at templed terrorism nt liarrlsburg by men <>r tlie most abandoned type, fix the high water mark of political debauchery, it but needed to complete its infamy the transparent hypocrisy which led a conven tion, thus constituted, to adopt "with laugh ter" resolutions condemning the very meth ods by which its delegates had been selected. Such condemnation of "The growing use of money in politics; the eorporat of the Legislature, municipal Councils, politi- j cat primaries and elections; the enslave ment of public officers and employes; favor- | it ism in granting contracts and the granting j of exclusive franchises in public necessi ties." while valuable as evidencing the truth of the accusations of the Democratic party in the last quarter of a century, yet coming from the very source which is responsible for these evils, constitutes the crowning in sult to tlie fntclligcnce of u forbearing and long-aullering people. DURING NATURES ODD TIMES. AT Crawfordsville, Ind., in the sum mer of 1890 tlierc was a shower of fish and angleworms. The fish were with out eyes and all about two incites long. THAT lightning does sometimes st rike twice in the same place is proven in the ease of a windmill in Bates county, Mo., which was recently struck by a bolt in exactly the spot where it was similarly j struck three years before. A LAKE containing fresh water on ' top and salt water on lite bottom has I been discovered on Kildin island, Lap- j land. The lake rises and falls with I the tide, and the salt water evidently comes from t lie sea by an underground channel. A HEAVY shower of diminutive toads little larger than potato bugs fell at Farmingtoni Me., a few days ago, dur ing what the people there call a "cloud- ! burst." Thousand j of the creatures ! fell in the town and the neighboring fields. CiEOROE \V. GOFF, of Punta Gorda, I la., is becoming a new man. His age i ninety, and up to a year ago he was partially deaf, wholly blind and almost i ald. Some months ago lie recovered his eyesight, his hearing became per fect, and now his crop of hair is black and luxuriant. A PECULIAR fish, the species of which has puzzled all of the expert fishermen of South Darlmouth, Mass., and vi cinity. was caught in a fish trap there a few days ago. It is somewhat over a j foot in length, beautifully striped in j the water,with a sucker-like appendage on its back, instead of underneath. Wei! Powdered. He'd been waltzing with his host's daughter and was in the corner repair- ; Ing damages. Here ho was espied by his would-be pupa-in-law. "She's the flower of my family, sir," said the latter. "So it snejns," answered the young man. "Pity she conies off so, ain't it?" j he continued, as lie essayed another vigorous rub at the white spots on his ! coat sleeve.—Erie Messenger. Suspicions Praise. "A good wife is Heaven's greatest gift to man and the rarest gem the earth holds!" remarked Mr. Jarphly the other morning. lie continued: "She is his joy, his inspiration and his very soul." He seemed to bo thoroughly in sym- ; pathy with his subject. He added; "Through her he learns to reach S the pure and the true, and her loving hands lead hi in softly over the rough places!"

A herd of Texas steers literally in i toxicatcd on the fermented juice of decaying apples is an emergency not < j contemplated by the authors of the Kansas prohibition law and its several crucial amendments, yet such a spectacle was recently witnessed by the chief of the metropolitan police < force of Fort Scott, and the sheriff of 1 1 llourbon county. Patrick Gorman, an extensive siock feeder, a few days ago shipped to his , ranch, ten miles northwest of Fort Scott, a herd of wild steers from the : I plains of Texas. During their first I night on a Kansas ranch they stam- I peded through the line fence of their 1 pasture into an orchard on the Alf < j Cleal ranch. The prolific fruit season had made it unprofitable for Mr. Cleal ! to gather but a small percentage of his j early apples, and the encumbered trees i had dVopped their ripened fruit to the j ground, full three layers deep. The apples had rotted and were in a state of fermentation that makes them a ' most intoxicating feast for brutes. Until the next morning the beasts glut- { ted themselves, and were found in a , condition of inebriety that caused them i to conduct themselves with that bois terous hilarity in which man is wont to 1 indulge when inspired by the operation i of forbidden Kansas "apple jack." The i effect of the fermented apple juice I was as varied on the c.'ittle as it would have been on as many men. finme bel- j lowed and contorted in drunken de- 4 ; buuehery, others were on their muscle and dangerously vicious, while some ~ i lay helpless and harmless. Their demonstrations attracted the neighbors for miles about and the peo ple from town drove out in crowds to i ' witness the revels of a "steer beer 1 garden." The cattle were rounded up J and corralled with much difficulty bj' a | score of experienced cattlemen, several ( i of whom had thrilling escapes from * the vicious attacks of the drunken , I brutes. A RICH SLICE. Tho Alaskan Territory That Great Britain | Is Trying to Gobble Up. Rev. Father Zonus Rarnum, who has j recently returned to Baltimore from j the interior of Alaska, where lie spent r four years in missionary work among \ the natives, has given an interesting 1 interview regarding the Alaska bound nry dispute between tho United States ? and Great Britain. "The claim made by tho British gov- i . eminent at the instance of Canadians," said ho, "embraces a valuable strip of laud, a portion of which is tho key to a I vast cxtont of tho iuterior of Alaska, ! ; possessing rich mineral resources. An i other portion would give them control of tho fine natural harbors, and in a , i third place they would gain one of tho ! most magnificent scenic regions in the I world, Glacier bay, which is now be- ; 1 ginning to bo visited by thousands of 1 I tourists from nil over the world during ' tho summer months. "Although the immense value of this land cannot be accurately determined, 1 a knowledge of its geographical posi j lion on the coast shows that great com- i i merciftl advantages should accrue in I tho future from its possession by this ' country. It is a long narrow slice, ! , ( running the whole length of the nar row irregular district of Alaska that is ! nearest to this country, most temperate j in climate and the whole part of a ter- ( ; ritory that is settled by any consider- j ! üblc number of white men. ! "One important effect of Great Brit- i . aln's claims, if they should bo allowed, I j would be that Britain would have con- j trol of tho route which is the key to \ I the gold fields in tho northwest corner of Alaska. These fields pan out about j one hundred thousand dollars each j year, but it has been stated that thero : j are rich prospects thero yet unworked, us well as other mineral resources j | which, when they become well known, ! ; will likely cause considerable immigra j tion there." AN IMMENSE SHARK. Measured Nearly Fifteen Feet and Weighed About Five Hundred Pounds. Antono Joseph, an old whaling mate now stationed as cook of the Cornfield lightship, Essex, Conn., hooked the boss shark of the season recently. The monster measured from nose to tip of tail 1-1 feet 7 inches, and weighed about 500 pounds. When Mr. Joseph noticed i the shark under the lightship quarter, he immediately got out the shark fish ing tackle and baited tho hook with a round of Uncle Sam's mess pork, which j i Mr. Shark very quickly made a meal of j and was towed alongside of the ship. | The gulfs were hooked on to him and : lie was hoisted on board. The sirloin steaks being removed, be was cast back Into the sea for the Niantic parties to ' take pictures of or anmo imaginative reporter to write up as a sea serpent. 1 A KANSAS WOMAN'S WILL.
